| To illustrate more abundantly in the field and in good weather conditions, the regional pedological specificities and the relations soils-societies on the base of the soil map.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- comment the Walloon landscapes or those discovered during an excursion abroad,
- to prove in a personal field work her/his ability to geomorphopedologically characterize a region and to comment its agro-environmental and soil scape specificities,
- lay the bases of a regional soil information system (SIS),
- and consequently show her/his ability to use adequate tools of computer graphics and GIS. |
